This mix contains the following products:

Victorian

Victorian is an early-heading diploid perennial ryegrass of the standard endophyte variety. It can cause animal health issues and is not recommended. It can persist but is not as productive or rust resistant as newer varieties. Sowing rate: 15-20 kg/ha alone 10-15 kg/ha with clovers

New Tetila

New Tetilia is a fast growing tetraploid ryegrass designed to boost early feed.Rapid early growth establishes this variety quickly and its relatively high yield makes it an ideal standalone crop. New Tetilia has a high purity level and its high digestibility and sugar content suits grazing or hay silage production. If you’re looking for that cost effective, fast establishing crop that you can also oversow in poor performing paddocks, New Tetilia has an excellent reputation for winter growth on farms across Australia. Sowing rate: 25-30 kg/ha alone 15-25 kg/ha with clovers

Yarck II

Yarck II is an Australian bred cocksfoot with good seedling vigour, improved establishment and strong winter growth. Yarck II has also demonstrated excellent summer activity with good response to summer rainfall. Similar to Porto Currie, Yarck II also displays strong all-round persistence. Sowing rate: 5-10 kg/ha alone 1-5 kg/ha in a mix

Riverina

Riverina is a yellow seeded sub clover variety producing moderate hard seed levels and large seed sizes to ensure vigour and establishment. Its resistance to root rot and clover scorch gives it a superior advantage over Trikkala, and it is equally suited to dryland or irrigated areas over a wide range of soils. Riverina performs better in autumn and winter than other varieties and offers strong drymatter production to boot. Sowing rate: 10-20 kg/ha alone 6-10 kg/ha in a mix

500mm+

Winter White

Highly winter active, Winter White II is a large leaf white clover with superior establishment and winter production compared to other varieties. It can be included in all perennial pasture mixes as a valuable legume component through winter and early spring, proving ideal for grazing as well as hay and silage production. Winter White II also performs well with short term ryegrasses from grazing to improving silage and hay production. Sowing rate: 3-5 kg/ha alone 1-3 kg/ha in a mix

USA Red

A general-purpose spring producer mainly suited to hay production, USA Red has high oestrogen levels and persists only for 1–2 years. Demonstrating an upright growth habit, it is broadly adaptable to most conditions as an annual clover, though generally requires highly fertile deep soils. Sowing rate: 6-10 kg/ha alone 1-3 kg/ha in a mix

700mm+

Viper Balansa

Viper is a late season annual clover providing higher hay yields and excellent seedling vigour for successful establishment. Viper demonstrates good tolerance of waterlogging and moderate tolerance of soil salinity to ensure outstanding performance in high rainfall zones. Its excellent late spring production and mature forage quality will assist in stock finishing for higher market prices. Sowing rate: 5-8 kg/ha alone 1-2 kg/ha in a mix
